Not that I'm greatly fond of the looks of the newish MX5 but my sister has the 2 litre one with slippy diff and uprated Bilsteins and it is a real joy to drive. Be even more fun with 2 more cylinders though...

Everything is more fun with 2 more cylinders!

Charles, that would be if you could add two cylinders without an increase in weight and a then-less-balanced chassis. A great part of the magic of the MX5 is in the balanced weight distribution, front to back.Not that I'm greatly fond of the looks of the newish MX5 but my sister has the 2 litre one with slippy diff and uprated Bilsteins and it is a real joy to drive.

I'll always prioritize chassis over ultimate power.

Indeed - every part works together. My only beef with the MX5 is it is just a little bit too small. Grow it a little so there is a touch more cabin and luggage space, and put a tuneful 2.5V6 in the front - Mazda made some gorgeous V6s.
I can dream!

A 2007 Lotus Elise, aka Federal Elise. It's not exactly new, but not exactly old either. I'll call it modern, as opposed to vintage.
